Question

Briefly describe two unbelievable incidents in the story the third level and explain?why think are unbelievable?

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:The story of the third level clearly explores the science fiction genre of ‘time travel’; Jack Finney, the recipient of the world fantasy award interweaves fantasy with the reality in the most futuristic projection of time travel. Charley wishes to be transported to the third level, the world of 1894 which is supposedly the much happier and quieter place to be. It is one of the most concise and entertaining story about time travel. The question of whether the third level exists in reality or only in Charley's mind can be inferred from Sam’s letter.

The story also dwells on the theme of escapism, not only as a psychological refuge from the grim realities of the present day world but also as a desire to stay with the past or to keep the past alive in the complexities of the present. In the story, Charley not only expresses a desire to escape but also prepares and tries very hard, a desire which is not contested by the wife either. Sam is also happily escaped with no plans to resort to his old profession along with scores of other people who cross the grand central everyday… to escape seems to be an all-pervasive feeling.

Answer 2

Answer:

1. The third level's plot explicitly examines the science fiction subgenre of "time travel," with Jack Finney, the winner of the World Fantasy Award, fusing the most far-reaching projection of time travel with reality. The third floor, which is said to be a much happier and peaceful place to be, is where Charley wants to go. It is one of the most succinct and interesting time travel stories. Sam's letter raises the issue of whether the third level actually exists or if it only exists in Charley's head.
2. Escapism is a recurring issue in the narrative, explored both as a psychological escape from the depressing facts of the modern world and as a wish to remain with the past or keep it alive amid the complexity of the present. In the story, Charley not only states his wish to flee, but also makes great preparations and attempts to do so. The wife does not contest Charley's desire. Sam has also successfully eluded capture and, like countless others who go through Grand Central every day, has no aspirations to return to his previous line of work. A feeling of wanting to get away seems to be omnipresent.
